Dystocia increases with advancing maternal age
Article Abstract:
The influence of maternal age on obstetric indices to uterine efficiency in spontaneous nulliparous labor is examined in order to determine whether increasing maternal age is more commonly associated with dystocia. The results have shown that the indices of dystocia have increased progressively with maternal age, although oxytocin augmentation has proved an effective intervention in all age categories.

The association between maternal age at the first and last delivery and urinary incontinence later in life is investigated. The results have shown that being older than 25 years at the first delivery is associated with incontinence and that the effect actually attenuates with actual age.
